This is a type of business you can start with low investment.
People love bargains. If they can get the books they need at a
discount, they'll be happy to buy them.
Publishers always have some books that are damaged and therefore
could not be used for new. They would be happy to get some money
for these books, no matter how small the amount, instead of
throwing them away.
You can contract with several book publishers to pick up their
damaged books at bargain prices. Then, you'll sell these books
at a discount. Check with the publishers, wholesalers and
retailers in your area to see what you might get from them.
These people deal in new books and might be throwing away stuff
that could be sold for big money.
You can pick up a lot of books from friends, relatives and
neighbors. Some of them will be willing to donate books to help
you build your inventory base.
Consider running a small ad in your local newspaper stating that
you're looking for good used books to buy.
If your store is located in a "high traffic" area, or near a
college or university campus, you're sure to have a large number
of people drop in to your store. Shopping malls and near "new"
bookstores, are good locations for a used book store. You can
increase your store traffic by running ads in the college paper,
yellow pages, and your shopping newspapers. You can also print
inexpensive flyers that invite people in to exchange books, or
to just browse.
These flyers can be distributed by handing them out or placing
them under the windshield wipers of cars in parking areas. Be on
the lookout for opportunities to pick up cash from books that
others need to get rid of quickly.
Be sure to find out what kinds of licenses and permits are
required before launching your business. Usually, once you
exchanged anything for money, you are effectively in business.
As a business person, it is your obligation to find out the laws
that affect you, and abide by them. Contact your local County
Clerk's office or other appropriate office, for requirements.
You can make cash with other's junk. You have been presented
with a unique money making business. Now, you have the
instructions you need to start "cashing in" on the fabulous junk
business.
Give this business a try. It can put huge amounts of cash in
your pockets. It can be a dependable source of extra income for
the maintenance of your homestead. It's up to you to get
started.
